By the editors · 2 min readA burst of bergamot, lemon, grapefruit, and orange opens brightly — citrus-forward but not sharp, with a clean, slightly effervescent quality. Mint and eucalyptus enter quickly, cooling the citrus and pushing the fragrance into fresh, herbal territory.
Fig and mimosa soften the middle, adding a faint green-floral texture without becoming overtly flowery. The base unfolds slowly around oakmoss, labdanum, and ambergris — mossy and earthy, with a quiet animalic depth that grounds everything above it.
The overall impression is a classic fresh-green structure anchored by dense, woody moss. It feels well-suited to temperate weather and daytime wear, with enough complexity to reward attention without demanding it.
